About the Working Families Party
The
Working Families Party (WFP) is the progressive party for the multiracial working class, fighting for a nation that works for the many, not the few. We recruit, train, and support transformational candidates up and down the ballot — and run them to win.
We believe that no matter where we come from or what our color, most of us want the same things. We want to earn enough to thrive, not just survive, and leave a better future for our kids. We want healthy food and clean water, safe neighborhoods and a safe world. We want to be free.
The Working Families Party is regular people coming together across our differences to make a better future for us all. We’re a multiracial party that fights for workers over bosses and people over the powerful. We want an America which realizes the promise – unrealized in our history – of freedom and equality for all.
The State Power Division is a newly created division that includes over 100 staff members in 14 chartered WFP states. State level operations endorse and elect thousands of candidates each year including some of the most dynamic elected officials in the country. And our work at the state level goes beyond serving as electoral operatives. In each state we are building a strong and aligned party infrastructure including member organizations and individual activists and leaders, a cycle-to-cycle voter engagement program that focuses on the multi-racial working class and a plan to win governing power with a strong focus on organizing and supporting caucuses of legislators.
The Operations Manager will be responsible for supporting the Deputy National Director in establishing administrative systems to support the development of the State Power Division, liasing with the operations, finance, compliance and data teams to streamline and increase compliance with internal processes and supporting events of the Division including staff and stakeholder meetings. This is a great position for someone who has the interest and the initiative to build systems and structures from the ground up, while also learning from and working across a breadth of operational expertise in the full organization. WFP is a large, growing, operationally complex environment, offering significant opportunities for growth and development.
